E3D Sentry AWACS Aircraft
An E-3D Sentry aircraft flown by 8 Squadron based at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire.
The RAF operates seven E-3D Sentry aircraft in the airborne surveillance and command-and-control role. The aircraft are based at RAF Waddington, where they are operated by Nos 8 and 23 Squadrons as the UKs contribution to the NATO Airborne Early Warning and Control Force.
The E-3D also forms one arm of the UK Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) triad of Sentinel R1, E-3D and Nimrod R1 aircraft. Whilst primarily procured as an airborne early warning aircraft, the E- 3D has been extensively employed in the Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) role.
The E-3D Sentry, known to the RAF as the AEW1, is based on the commercial Boeing 707-320B aircraft, which has been extensively modified and updated to accommodate modern mission systems. Mission endurance is approximately 11 hours (over 5000nmls), although this can be extended by air - to- air refuelling.
The E-3D is the only aircraft in the RAFs inventory capable of air-to-air refuelling by both the American flying-boom system and the RAFs probe-and-drogue method
The British Army protects the United Kingdom's interests at home and abroad, providing a safe and secure environment in which all British citizens can live and prosper

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mighty E3D Sentry AWACS Aircraft, a true symbol of power and precision. Flown by 8 Squadron based at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire, this aircraft is an integral part of the Royal Air Force's airborne surveillance and command-and-control operations. With seven E-3D Sentry aircraft in its fleet, the RAF proudly contributes to NATO's Airborne Early Warning and Control Force through Nos 8 and 23 Squadrons. The E-3D Sentry plays a crucial role within the UK Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) triad alongside Sentinel R1 and Nimrod R1 aircraft. Originally designed as an airborne early warning platform, it has seamlessly transitioned into fulfilling the vital Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) role. Based on Boeing 707-320B commercial aircraft but extensively modified with modern mission systems, this AEW1 variant offers exceptional endurance during missions lasting approximately 11 hours or over 5000 nautical miles. Furthermore, its versatility is enhanced by air-to-air refueling capabilities using both American flying-boom system as well as the RAF's probe-and-drogue method. As we gaze upon this remarkable image capturing strength in motion against a backdrop of endless possibilities, let us appreciate the dedication of those who operate these magnificent machines. The E3D Sentry AWACS Aircraft represents not only technological advancement but also serves as a testament to our commitment to national security and international cooperation.
